Glioblastoma (GBM) is the most aggressive malignant tumor of the adult central nervous system, with limited treatment options and poor prognosis. Radiotherapy (RT) remains a cornerstone of GBM treatment; however, tumor cell resistance to RT severely limits its efficacy. Recently, metabolic reprogramming (MR) has gained widespread attention as a critical mechanism enabling GBM cells to evade RT‐induced stress. In this review, the central roles of glucose, lipid, and amino acid metabolic reprogramming in GBM's resistance to RT were outlined, highlighting how GBM remodels metabolic pathways to enhance DNA damage repair, antioxidant defenses, and immune evasion after RT. Although combining metabolic inhibitors with RT has shown potential in improving GBM treatment outcomes, challenges such as overcoming the blood‐brain barrier and addressing tumor heterogeneity remain. The integration of nanomedicine‐based delivery systems and immunotherapy offers new hope for GBM treatment. Future research should focus on developing multidimensional, personalized metabolic targeting strategies, combined with immunotherapy and emerging technologies, to further improve therapeutic outcomes and survival rates for GBM patients.

Objective:To deeply analyze the epidemiological characteristics and changing trends of intestinal infectious diseases in China, and provide scientific evidence for the prevention and control of intestinal infectious diseases.Methods:The incidence data of notifiable intestinal infectious diseases in China from 2013 to 2022 were collected from China Disease Prevention and Control Information System. Descriptive statistical method was used to analyze the distributions of intestinal infectious diseases in China, and the annual change rate and seasonal index were calculated.Results:During 2013-2022, intestinal infectious diseases were reported nationwide, with the cases accounting for 43.50% of all notifiable infectious disease cases. The average reported incidence rate was 224.50/100 000, showing a decreasing trend year by year (average annual percent change=-6.45%, t=-2.76, P=0.025). The top 5 intestinal infectious diseases were hand foot and mouth disease (HFMD) (130.40/100 000), other infectious diarrhea (80.18/100 000), dysentery (7.45/100 000), acute hemorrhagic conjunctivitis (2.49/100 000) and viral hepatitis E (1.92/100 000). The incidences of dysentery, HFMD, typhoid fever/paratyphoid fever, viral hepatitis A and acute hemorrhagic conjunctivitis all showed decreasing trends year by year (all P<0.05), while the incidences of hepatitis E and other infectious diarrhea showed no significant changes with year (both P>0.05). The incidence of intestinal infectious diseases was high during May to October, with the peak in June. The incidence rate of intestinal infectious diseases was significantly higher in men than in women (all P<0.05). The HFMD, other infectious diarrhea and dysentery cases were mainly children aged 0-5 years, while the cholera, hepatitis A, hepatitis E, typhoid fever/paratyphoid fever and acute hemorrhagic conjunctivitis cases were mainly farmers aged ≥20 years. The annual reported incidence rate of intestinal infectious diseases was higher in southern provinces (283.66/100 000) than in northern provinces (142.63/100 000), and the annual reported incidence rate of intestinal infectious diseases was higher in coastal provinces (279.52/100 000) than in inland provinces (181.78/100 000), the differences were all significant (both P<0.001). Conclusions:During 2013-2022, the incidence of intestinal infectious diseases decreased significantly in China, with HFMD and other infectious diarrhea as the main diseases. Strengthened surveillance for intestinal infectious diseases should be carried out in key groups, such as children living scatteredly and farmers, and targeted prevention and control measures should be taken according to the epidemiological characteristics of different diseases to effectively reduce the incidence of intestinal infectious diseases.

Objective:To investigate the expression of heat shock factor binding protein 1 (HSPB1) in endometrial carcinoma and its clinical significance.Methods:The pan-cancer dataset after standardization and unification was downloaded from the University of California Santa Cruz (UCSC) Genome database (updated to December 6, 2019), and the expression of HSPB1 in pan-cancer was analyzed. The transcriptome data of endometrial carcinoma of the uterus from the Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) database were downloaded (updated to July 21, 2016), including 552 cases of endometrial carcinoma and 35 cases of corresponding adjacent tissue samples. The clinical data of 543 patients with endometrial cancer were obtained. The differences in the expression levels of HSPB1 in patients with different clinicopathological features were compared. R 4.3.1 software maxstat was used to calculate the optimal critical value (>46.30) of HSPB1 expression, and the patients were divided into HSPB1 low expression group (<46.30) and HSPB1 high expression group (≥46.30). Kaplan-Meier method was used to analyze the difference in prognosis between the 2 groups, and log-rank test was performed. The top 50 genes with positive and negative correlation with HSPB1 were screened by LinkedOmics database. Gene ontology (GO) and Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG) enrichment analysis were performed on HSPB1. The interaction network of HSPB1 protein was analyzed by STRING database and Cytoscape 3.9.1 software. The correlation between HSPB1 expression and various immune cell infiltration levels was analyzed by using the TIMER2.0 database.Results:The expression of HSPB1 in 27 kinds of tumor tissues was higher than that in paracancerous tissues, and the expression of HSPB1 in 2 kinds of tumor tissues was lower than that in paracancerous tissues (all P < 0.05). In the transcriptome data of 552 cases of endometrial cancer and 35 cases of corresponding paracancerous tissues in the TCGA database, the relative expression level of HSPB1 in endometrial cancer tissues was higher than that in corresponding paracancerous tissues ( t = -2.90, P = 0.005). The result of the comparison of relative expression level of HSPB1 in endometrial cancer patients with different clinicopathological features showed that patients aged < 65 years had higher expression level compared to those aged ≥ 65 years, patients at clinical stage Ⅰ-Ⅱ had higher expression level compared to those at stage Ⅲ-Ⅳ, patients with Grade grading G 1-G 2 had higher expression level compared to those with G 3, and patients with pathological type I had higher expression level compared to those with type Ⅱ (all P < 0.05). Of the 543 patients, 2 were lost to follow-up, and the overall survival of the remaining 541 patients with high HSPB1 expression was better than that of those with the low expression ( HR = 0.532, 95% CI: 0.333-0.849, P = 0.008). HSPB1 and its related genes were mainly involved in estrogen signaling, p53 signaling and other pathways; HSPB1 was involved in cysteine-type endopeptidase inhibitor activity and calcium-dependent protein binding. The top 10 genes with the strongest correlation with HSPB1 in protein-protein interaction analysis were DSG3, EVPL, PKP1, DSC3, PKP3, PPL, KRT5, IVL, TGM1 and CSTA. The expression of HSPB1 was negatively correlated with tumor purity ( r = -0.025, P < 0.01), and positively correlated with CD4 + T cells ( r = 0.204, P < 0.01), CD8 + T cells ( r = 0.225, P < 0.01), B cells ( r = 0.285, P < 0.01), NK cells ( r = 0.269, P < 0.01), macrophages ( r = 0.234, P < 0.01) and dendritic cells ( r = 0.354, P < 0.01). Conclusions:The high expression of HSPB1 is associated with clinicopathological features, prognosis and immune infiltration in patients with endometrial carcinoma. It may be one of the reference indexes for predicting the prognosis of patients with endometrial cancer.

The PA-PB1 interface of the influenza polymerase is an attractive site for antiviral drug design. In this study, we designed and synthesized a mini-library of indazole-containing compounds based on rational structure-based design to target the PB1-binding interface on PA. Biological evaluation of these compounds through a viral yield reduction assay revealed that compounds 27 and 31 both had a low micromolar range of the half maximal effective concentration (EC₅₀) values against A/WSN/33 (H1N1) (8.03 μmol/L for 27; 14.6 μmol/L for 31), while the most potent candidate 24 had an EC₅₀ value of 690 nM. Compound 24 was effective against different influenza strains including a pandemic H1N1 strain and an influenza B strain. Mechanistic studies confirmed that compound 24 bound PA with a K _d which equals to 1.88 μmol/L and disrupted the binding of PB1 to PA. The compound also decreased the lung viral titre in mice. In summary, we have identified a potent anti-influenza candidate with potency comparable to existing drugs and is effective against different viral strains. The therapeutic options for influenza infection have been limited by the occurrence of antiviral resistance, owing to the high mutation rate of viral proteins targeted by available drugs. To alleviate the public health burden of this issue, novel anti-influenza drugs are desired. In this study, we present our discovery of a novel class of indazole-containing compounds which exhibited favourable potency against both influenza A and B viruses. The EC₅₀ of the most potent compounds were within low micromolar to nanomolar concentrations. Furthermore, we show that the mouse lung viral titre decreased due to treatment with compound 24. Thus our findings identify promising candidates for further development of anti-influenza drugs suitable for clinical use.

Objective:To investigate the assoication of amino acid metabolism levels with severity of diabetic peripheral neuropathy(DPN) in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus.Methods:A retrospective analysis was conducted on 118 patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus who were admitted to Shuguang Hospital Affiliated to Shanghai University of Traditional Chinese Medicine from January to April 2021. Patients were divided into groups according to the Toronto Clinical Scoring System(TCSS), and amino acid profiling was performed. General demographics and biochemical indicators of each group were collected to analyze the relationship between DPN severity and amino acid metabolism.Results:As TCSS scores increased, patients were older and had a longer duration of diabetes. Statistically significant differences in leucine, isoleucine, tryptophan, and phenylalanine levels were observed among the four groups. After adjusting for confounding variables using covariance analysis, when the TCSS score was≥13, the serum phenylalanine level was significantly elevated, and the difference was statistically significant( P<0.05). Multivariate linear regression analysis indicated that TCSS score was an influencing factor for phenylalanine levels( P=0.010). Multivariate logistic regression analysis demonstrated that higher serum phenylalanine levels correlated with higher TCSS scores( OR=1.047, 95% CI 1.011-1.083, P=0.010). Receiver operating characteristic(ROC) curve analysis revealed that serum phenylalanine and the difference between phenylalanine and tryptophan had diagnostic value for severe DPN patients, with areas under the ROC curve of 0.673(95% CI 0.553-0.793, P=0.006) and 0.746(95% CI 0.641-0.852, P<0.001) respectively. Conclusions:The levels of phenylalanine and tryptophan in the serum of patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus are correlated with the severity of DPN. These findings suggest that serum phenylalanine, tryptophan, or their metabolic products may be involved in the pathogenesis and progression of DPN.

Objective:To analyze the epidemiological characteristics and trend of acute hemorrhagic conjunctivitis (AHC) in China from 2015 to 2022, and to provide evidence for the adjustment of prevention and control strategies and measures for AHC.Methods:The case data of AHC reported by national notifiable disease information system from 2015 to 2022 were collected, and descriptive analysis method were used to analyze the population distribution characteristics, temporal epidemiological trends and spatial clusters of AHC in China.Results:From 2015 to 2022, the incidence of AHC in China ranged from 1.85/100 000 to 2.97/100 000, with a fluctuating downward trend. The average annual percent change (AAPC) was -4.91 (95% CI: -7.74 to -2.00, P<0.05), with an annual percent change (APC) of 2.73 (95% CI: -2.34 to 8.06, P=0.189) for 2015—2019 and an APC of -14.23 (95% CI: -21.78 to -5.94, P<0.05). The age-specific incidence rate was highest in children aged 0-4 years (fluctuating between 4.69 and 5.67/100 000 from 2015 to 2019; It decreased significantly during 2020—2022, fluctuating between 1.93 and 2.72 per 100 000).The proportion of cases in children at 0-4 years of age showed a fluctuating downward trend from 8.68% in 2015 to 3.76% in 2020, with an increase in 2021—2022 to 5.74%. After 2020, the proportion of the population aged 60 years and above has increased, reaching 33.59% in 2022. Cases were mainly farmers, with a fluctuating upward trend of around 50% per year, with the highest percentage of 60.96% in 2020. The peak seasonal incidence of AHC was obvious from May to September from 2015 to 2019, but it was not obvious in 2020—2022. The cases were mainly distributed in Guangxi, Hainan and other provinces in the southwestern part of China. The high incidence counties were concentrated in Leye County of Guangxi, Maojian District of Hubei, Fuchuan Yao Autonomous County of Guangxi, Funing County of Yunnan, and Pulan County of Tibet every year. Conclusions:The overall epidemic rate of AHC in China showed a fluctuating downward trend from 2015 to 2022, with a pronounced decline observed between 2020 and 2022, potentially linked to non-pharmaceutical interventions during the COVID-19 pandemic. Increased attention needs to be given to farmers and people above 60 years of age to reduce the risk of morbidity. Moreover, prevention and control efforts should be strengthened in high-risk areas of southwestern China, and comprehensive measures should be implemented in counties with high incidence, including enhanced health education campaigns and improved allocation of sanitary facilities, to reduce the risk of AHC infection. This study is the first to highlight the potential impact of public health policies on AHC epidemiology, thereby offering a scientific foundation for population- and region-specific precision prevention strategies, particularly guiding the refinement of control measures in high-burden areas.

Objective:To explore the efficacy and its related factors of rituximab (RTX) in the treatment of children with frequently relapsing nephrotic syndrome/steroid-dependent nephrotic syndrome (FRNS/SDNS).Methods:It was a single-center retrospective study. The clinical data of FRNS/SDNS children first treated with RTX in the First Affiliated Hospital of Sun Yat-sen University from November 1, 2016 to September 1, 2023 were collected. The number of relapse within 1 year before and after RTX treatment, the time to first relapse after RTX treatment, and the time to B-cell reconstitution were analyzed. At the first treatment, a single dose of RTX was given at 375 mg/m 2, with a maximum dose of 500 mg, once a week, for 1 to 4 doses. The count of CD19 + lymphocytes in the peripheral blood of the children was continuously monitored. If B-cell reconstruction was performed, the decision on whether to proceed to the next course of RTX treatment was made based on clinical manifestations. Kaplan-Meier method was used to analyze relapse-free survival rate after receiving RTX. Cox proportional hazards regression model was used to analyze the related factors of relapse after RTX treatment. Results:A total of 98 FRNS/SDNS children receiving RTX treatment were enrolled, including 75 males (76.5%). The age at onset was 4.0 (1.9, 7.1) years and age of receiving RTX was 11.3 (8.5, 13.5) years. There were 90 children (91.8%) achieving complete remission, while 8 patients (8.2%) did not respond to RTX treatment, and 3 patients (3.1%) progressed to end-stage kidney disease after receiving RTX. The relapse-free survival rates at 6 months and 1 year after RTX treatment were 83.3% (75/90) and 57.9% (22/38), respectively. The frequency of relapse 1 year after RTX treatment decreased compared to 1 year before RTX treatment ( Z=-7.398, P<0.001). Compared with children without relapse during the period of B-cell depletion, relapsed children had a higher number of relapse within one year after RTX treatment ( Z=5.246, P<0.001). The time to first relapse after RTX treatment was 8.3 (4.6, 13.9) months in 51 relapse patients. Compared with children receiving 1 dose of RTX in the first course, those receiving 2 or more doses had a longer time to the first relapse ( Z=2.983, P=0.003). There was no statistically significant difference in time to the first relapse between children who received mycophenolate mofetil therapy after RTX treatment and those who didn't ( P>0.05). The reconstruction time of B cells after the first course of RTX was 6.9 (5.3, 9.0) months. Compared to children receiving one dose of RTX in the first course, those receiving two or more doses had a longer B-cell reconstitution time ( Z=2.739, P=0.006). There was no statistically significant difference in B-cell reconstitution time between children who received mycophenolate mofetil therapy after RTX treatment and those who didn't ( P>0.05). Univariate Cox regression analysis showed that recurrence after calcineurin inhibitor (CNI) treatment before RTX treatment and the number of recurrence in one year before RTX treatment were correlated factors of recurrence after RTX treatment (both P<0.05). Multivariate Cox regression analysis showed that recurrence after CNI treatment before RTX treatment was an independent correlated factor of relapse after RTX therapy ( HR=3.496, 95% CI 1.245-9.818, P=0.018). Infusion reactions occurred in 10 patients (10.2%) and infections were observed in 24 patients (24.5%) during B cell depletion. No serious adverse events occurred. Conclusions:RTX is well tolerated and effective in treating FRNS/SDNS. Recurrence after CNI treatment before RTX treatment may be an independent related factor of relapse after RTX treatment.

Executive function(EF) is an advanced cognitive function of the central nervous system, and is closely related to an individual's capacity for daily living and adaptation. Patients with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) typically exhibit significant executive dysfunction. While most existing studies on the executive function of individuals with ADHD are cross-sectional, and little is known about the longitudinal maturation process of related brain structures and functional connectivity patterns. The findings indicate that ADHD patients exhibit differential developmental trajectories in brain structural and functional connectivity compared with typically developing group.Furthermore, there is a lifespan association between abnormal brain network development and ADHD symptoms. This article aims to elucidate the characteristics of executive function deficits in ADHD patients across different developmental stages, examining their relationship with the nervous system’s development from a development perspective.
